Scripture Reflection: March 10, 2024 - 4th Sunday of Lent
 
2 Chr 36:14-16, 19-23
Ps 137:1-2, 3, 4-5, 6
Eph 2: 4-10
Jn 3:14-21
 
Reading 1
History lesson – our sins continued mounting – we disgraced the temple. God was patient and warned us, and we disrespected the warnings. We ignored the warnings and our enemies destroyed the temple and took us captive until Persia came into power was charged to build God a house in Jerusalem and gave us back our freedom to be with our God.

Responsorial Psalm
Reflection on the history lesson when we were captive in a foreign land. We must not forget this lesson. Jerusalem is ahead of my joy.

Reading 2
God gives us unending mercy and love despite our sins and transgressions. He has saved us through our faith. Let us gracefully accept our gift from God, the promise of Heaven.

Gospel
What a joy to read! Probably the first verse I learned as a child – God so loved the world… He gave us His Son, not to condemn us, but to bring us light and eternal life despite our sins and transgressions. This is our promise and our faith we must not ever lose. Remember the glorious Love we constantly receive for our Lord.
